Winemaker of Chateau Lafleur Saint-Jean 2018
Omri Ram
Pomerol, a revered appellation in the Bordeaux region of southwestern France, stands as an iconic figurehead of Merlot-based wines on the Right Bank. This historic wine region, known for its remarkable red wines, enjoys a unique status in the world of wine.
Pomerol's rich history is marked by its distinctiveness. Unlike many Bordeaux appellations, it lacks a formalized classification system, yet it has risen to prominence over a relatively short period. The appellation's most illustrious wines, such as Petrus and Le Pin, have achieved prices surpassing even the cru classe properties of the Medoc.
